I have 1 http address to load images that change with timestamp.

For example xxx.com?time=192186577

Can I use a Poster object to do this real-time refresh of the image content? If the poster doesn't support it, can I use another object? Please give me some help.

you need to create one Task Node(control nodes) and Put your Poster(Image) code inside the Task node. and you need to use the timer(control nodes)("fire" events) for handling the Task node For calling timewise.

I still can't implement the Task node in the way you instructed.
With the Poster Component object, I see it has a uri property. I still don't understand why using Task node in this case.

I have tried with Timer but when loading the image displayed on the device, it appears black flashing when changing the uri of the Poster.
Here is the source code I am trying to test.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<component name="posterScene" extends="Scene" >

<script type="text/brightscript" >


<!-- m.poster.ObserveField("loadStatus", "changetext") -->


<![CDATA[

sub init()

m.timer = m.top.findNode("exampleTimer")
m.timer.ObserveField("fire", "changetexta")
m.timer.control = "start"

m.mirrorUrl = "http://192.168.11.6:4998/screenmirroring"

m.poster = m.top.findNode("channelbugPoster")

m.top.setFocus(true)
end sub

sub changetexta()
time = CreateObject("roDateTime")
second = time.AsSeconds()
milisecond = time.GetMilliseconds()
timestampString = second.ToStr() + milisecond.ToStr()
mirrorUrl=m.mirrorUrl+"?ts="+timestampString
print(mirrorUrl)
m.poster.uri = mirrorUrl

end sub
